Now it is clear that it is no longer safe to have a domain name with the ".ly" extension . Letter.ly website has recently lost its domain name because of the situation in Lybia .
According to TechCrunch ,Letter.ly domain name expired and the owners haven't been able to renew it .This is a great example of how a war in the real world can affect the virtual world .
Here is the note Letter.ly sent :
" hello letterly authors, last week, the agency that we used to register the letter.ly domain was taken down as a side effect of the war in libya (.ly is the libyan top level domain). our domain registration expired, and we were unable to renew it. as the expiration propagated, the site appeared to be dead and emails sent to your subscribers probably bounced.
1) sorry for the hassle. it’s amazing that a physical war has affected our service in this way.
2) we are now letterly.net. this means that you will send emails to secretcode@letterly.net instead of secretcode@letter.ly, and new subscribers should be directed to letterly.net/yoururl. "
If nothing changes we expect Bit.ly to have the same problem .Bit.ly expires next year .
